Welcome to September......the BER months

[sweetpumkinpye]

This week is the start of SPRING for us, this week also sees us in our third week in lock down and under a stay at home order. I think that this will be extended as the numbers are not where they would like them to be. On a positive note I am getting a lot of extra work done here and the house will be really cleaned and well organised before the really warm weather hits. What is also has shown me is a need to look at some more interests, if this continues for too much longer I may start to get bored.

HHP starts this week. I’m always excited for it but I also question how I am going to find time to work on that list and the general weekly list. I’ve decided that I’ll just have to post on the forums after getting things done on the list.

Mary, here's hoping for a great week. I am a little panicked about getting it all done but then we always manage somehow.
